Heating and cooling service across New Haven County, CT
The Guilford head office covers the shoreline half of the county, from Milford through New Haven to Madison, with Hamden and the inland towns close behind.
BDM Mechanical handles heating and cooling across the southern half of New Haven County, CT, from Milford and West Haven through New Haven, Hamden, Branford, Guilford and Madison. The phone is answered 24/7, and calls on this side are dispatched from the head office on Oxbow Ln in Guilford, so the shoreline is covered from both directions.
Old housing stock and a lot of oil heat
New Haven County holds some of the oldest housing in the state. Wooster Square, East Rock and the older streets of West Haven are full of houses with hot-water or steam radiators, while Hamden, North Haven and the Branford hills filled in with postwar capes and colonials on forced air. Along the water, plenty of summer cottages in Milford, East Haven and Branford became year-round homes, with heat added later and often sized by guesswork.
Gas mains reach the cities and most of the older neighborhoods, but much of Guilford, Madison and North Branford still burns oil or propane. That is why burner service, tank replacement and conversions are a regular part of the work on this side of the county. Heat pumps are catching up quickly, usually added alongside an existing boiler rather than replacing it outright.
Our regular range covers the shoreline towns and the first ring inland, from Milford and Orange through New Haven, Hamden and North Haven to Branford, Guilford and Madison. Waterbury, Meriden and the Naugatuck Valley are outside it, and we will say so on the phone rather than promise a visit we cannot keep.

Calls from New Haven County reach the same 24/7 line as every other call, and the job goes to the head office on Oxbow Ln in Guilford, which covers New Haven County on routine runs. When the Guilford schedule is full on a cold night, the Bridgeport service office picks it up, and you are told which office is coming before anyone leaves.
Tell us the system type, the fuel and what it is doing when you call. A boiler that is short of water, a furnace flashing a code or a heat pump stuck in defrost each points to different parts.
